This Series 1 E-Type has been completely restored and equipped for historic motor racing by the French specialists "Frogg Racing". The engine has been prepared by the British specialist firm "Rob Beere Racing" and is upgraded with the installation of three Weber twin-choke carburettors and a stainless-steel Big-Bore exhaust. An aluminium bonnet was fitted together with a 90-litre aluminium racing fuel-tank. Dunlop knock-off wheels, a roll-cage and bucket seats complete the competition specification of this magnificent coupé and it is more than ready to tackle the next rally. A complete documentation of the restoration work comes with the car. A Swiss road registration enables the E-Type to be used not only on any race circuit but on the road as well. In excellent condition and with the last MOT completed in July 2017, this E-Type is ready to go.
